Norwegian Star Antonio Nusa Scores Stunning Goal, Attracts Premier League Interest

Antonio Nusa, the 21-year-old Norwegian winger nicknamed the "Norwegian Neymar," scored a spectacular goal against Ivory Coast in the 2026 World Cup, marking his ninth international goal in just 29 appearances. Nusa began his professional career in Norway before transferring to Club Brugge in 2021 for 5.7 million euros. In 2024, he made a significant step up by joining German club RB Leipzig in a 21 million euro deal.

Despite his impressive international performances, Nusa's club form has been more modest, with four goals and three assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season. Known for his agility and technical skills, he has openly credited Neymar as an inspiration, having studied the Brazilian star's moves on YouTube. His standout displays include a dominant performance in Norway's 5-0 victory over Israel, where he assisted twice.

As Nusa leads Norway in the World Cup, top English Premier League clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle United have shown strong interest in acquiring him. RB Leipzig values him highly and is expected to demand around 50 million euros for his transfer. With growing global attention, Nusa is poised for a major move beyond continental Europe.
